Maritime workers have special legal protections that land workers don’t.

Under the Jones Act, injured seamen, including crew members on cargo ships, tugboats, and cruise vessels, can pursue compensation if their injury was caused by employer negligence or unsafe vessel conditions.

If you work on or near the water and were injured, you may have rights under maritime and admiralty law.
